- In hypothesis testing, there are two types of errors:
- Type I Error ( α ):  Rejecting the true  null hypothesis (H ₀ ). A "false positive."

The power of a test (1- β )  is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis. So, the error described in the question is a Type II error.
